To offer the possibility for everyone to visit the only fully-equipped marina in the west coast of the Gulf of Thailand, Racer Marina decided to digitalize the entire marina in a 3D virtual tour. You will now be able to visualize the whole surface without moving from where you are. This way, here will be no surprises when you arrive by boat, you will know where to moor your vessel.

You can visualize and navigate in real time in our 3D model from a simple browser in any computer connected to the Internet. You can even experiment from where you are right now with your mobile phone or tablet. It's even compatible with the latest VR (Vrtual Reali-ty) headset. This is for your convenience, making sure your visit will be a good experience even though you may not be familiar with new technology, we have listed every point of interest in a simple dropdown menu.

INTERVIEW

[ SEA Yachting ] Tell us a little bit about yourself and how you ended up in Racer Marina ?

[ Mucharin Withathan ] I was born in Thailand, but I grew up and studied in Switzerland. I was looking for a professional challenge in my home country, which allowed me to reconnect to my source. For many reasons, I decided to apply in the beautiful Gulf of Thailand area.

[ SY ] Thailand is big, why precisely the Gulf of Thailand ?

[ MW ] Although I am from the north, I wanted to experiment with beach living. I choose the Gulf of Thailand because of the nice wind on its coast, and the beauty of its beaches. It’s also, because I’m afraid of tsunamis on the west side. I wanted a safe place, beach side, close to Bangkok, and not touristic, but well developed.

Entrance[ SY ] What do you do for Racer Marina? Did you develop the virtual visit by yourself ?

[ MW ] My tasks are various and allow me to touch everything. From graphic design, to web design, and even 3D modeling. Yes, I modeled the marina in 3D and linked it to a real time online 3D engine, so everyone could visit the marina on their web browser. It was my main task but I wasn’t alone, the marina manager was very helpful as he provided me with all the 2D plans allowing me to design the 3D modeling. Also the workers in the marina helped me, they’ve mesured the real distance and gave them to me. I also designed the article you are reading right now and many other graphic tools for the marina. I will be here for three-and-a-half months.

[ SY ] What about your experience so far in Thailand ?

MW ] It is very agreeable to work here ; it’s a beautiful work place with beautiful boats, I like the atmosphere. I also like the international aspect, here I can hear many diff erent languages every day and meet people from all around the world. I also love to travel to Paknampran and Sam Roi Yod .
